UFC flyweight champion Alexandre Pantoja paid tribute to his closest opponent Brandon Royval, with whom he will meet on the night of December 17 in the co-main event of UFC 296 in Las Vegas.
“Royval definitely deserved a fight for the belt. He's fought every fighter in the top 10, so he's earned this chance. Brandon is a very serious guy and he wants what I have, so I have to be very careful.
I will make a lot of money from this fight and will receive a percentage of the PPV sales, so I will put on an amazing show for all the viewers,” BJ Penn quotes Panntozhi as saying.
